Sundance: Top 10 Trailers

Who has the time to watch entire movies? In the hopes that you’ll spend a bigger slice of your day reading Wired’s delicious array of blogs and feature articles, and visiting our sponsors, we’ve boiled the Sundance fest down for you. Our top 10 Sundance ’08 trailers — filled with blood, gore and the elderly singing punk classics.

Young@Heart
I’m not actually sure if this clip is from the movie, but it plays better than the actual trailer. The Young@Heart singers rock Sonic Youth, the Bee Gees, ColdPlay and, here, Joey and bros.

In Bruges
Martin McDonagh, enfant terrible of the British stage (and Oscar winner for the intense short Six Shooter), puts his acid sense of humor and knack for brutality to use in Sundance’s opening-night film.

U2 3D
Make sure Edge doesn’t poke out your eye with that thing. (The trailer’s just 2-D, BTW.)

Trailer Park of Terror
‘Nuff said.

Up the Yangtze
The world’s biggest engineering project, ever, opens this year. A chilling first look.

Be Kind Rewind
Gondry + Jack Black + Ghostbusters = comedy gold.

Fear(s) of the Dark
A French animated omnibus horror film. I’m already terrified.

Otto; or, Up with Dead People
No wasted motion here. From Bruce LaBruce.

Time Crimes
Back to the future, in Spanish and with a mysterious naked babe.

George Romero’sDiary of the Dead
I’m confused by the director’s name in the title. Do I file under G or D? Also, please note the Cloverfield filming-horror-as-it-unfolds conceit.
